Elixir Nanoweb coating permits strings with the feel, bright tone, and punch of traditional strings. Elixirs are the first major innovation in strings in over forty years, and they deliver what they promise: great tone and long life no matter what you put them on or how often you play.

Elixir Acoustic Guitar Strings are covered with an ultra-thin, space-age polymer tube that contacts the string on the tops of the windings only. This leaves the all-important winding-to-winding-to-core space free from the fear of the enemies of tone!

Most players report that Elixir Strings keep sounding great 3 to five times longer than ordinary strings.

They sell the 024 in bulk because it constantly breaks, even under light use at home.

I've played 35 years, own several guitars, I play fingerstyle only, no pick, no bends, etc. I almost never break strings. But this one breaks all the time. This is the only brand I've ever had this problem with. It only happens on the G string.

I keep buying them because they're the stock string for my Taylor. But it's irritating.

The G chord (024 ) breaks everytime you strum it a little bit harder , I like the sound of Elixir on my 814 ce but I don't like to have to replace the G chord everytime I play, its happens to me two times during a gig , thats a shame.

Somebody reviewing here claims to have a breakage problem. I say "BS." All strings break. I've used dozens of different *makes* of strings and have been through (literally) *hundreds* of individual sets. Anybody who doesn't ever break a string is not playing enough.Me? I've broken strings made by virtually *every* manufacturer that exists. I break the "G" string more than any other. Again, *not* an manufacturer problem, I'd bet money. Me? I re-tune/de-tune frequently, using some alternative tunings.*That* is by far the biggest factor, I think, for most people who play much --- playing habits and tuning practices. YMMV, of course, but, for coated stings (they just do *not* sound good enough to be the equal of un-coated) these are perfectly adequate.

Elixir strings sound the best on my Taylor - hands down. However, the G-strings break almost every gig. Begrudgingly, I have had to switch to another brand. The company should fix the problem, not have their marketing team try to sell us single strings.

there is a reason these are the only strings Elixir offers in a single pack: you will find yourself breaking them regularly within the first few times playing them! Sure you could replace the one string, but I got tired of breaking them in the middle of my song set.
